The Glenwood Springs Post Independent caught up with two Garfield County Public Health employees to hear their reflections on the past year with COVID-19. Rachel Kappler is a public health nurse who works to educate about COVID-19 and prevent its spread, and Joan Rankin Hayes who is a registered nurse and public health nurse. Hayes said she works as a Childcare Health Consultant and previously was involved with the Family Advisory Council Roaring Fork Schools before she was moved to work with the COVID-19 team full time. Below are their insights on what it was like to spend a year without being able to escape COVID-19 in their personal or professional lives.
